Version: Omada Identity on-premises 14.0.16 (legacy)

Upgrade guide from 14.0.5 to any version 14

Prerequisites​

For description of prerequisites common to each upgrade, refer to the Upgrade guides main page.

Tabular model - refactored population of security tables​

The way the security tables in the Tabular Model are populated has been changed. This means that several Data source objects used for the analytics KPIs have been changed. If you have made any changes to these data objects, you should note the changes and merge them to the updated objects.

Peer Access Analysis​

As part of the Peer Access Analysis functionality, the configuration object Analysis Service Configuration has been extended with new parameters and enumeration mappings. If you have made any changes to the configuration of this configuration object, you need to do a manual backup of this object before the upgrade.

The Peer Access Analysis relies on the Tabular Model in the SQL Server Analysis Service that was introduced in v14.0.4. If you have the Tabular Model installed already, you need to update it by running the XMLA script.

Change in REST Connector extension point​

Due to a vast number of supported authorization options in the REST Provisioning Connector, one of the public extension points has been modified. The modification means that any custom REST connector that used this extension point must be updated.

The changed extension point is Omada.OPS.Connector.REST.Services.Authorization.AbstractTokenService. This extension point can be used to implement custom authorization flows.

In addition, the protected abstract method abstract string getPayloadAsString() has been replaced with protected abstract Dictionary<string, string> getTokenPayload().

Remove and reapply custom indexes in columns​

Due to changes made to the tblDataObject.CreateTime, tblDataObjectVersion.CreateTime, and tblDataObjectVersionPropertyValueDateTime.PropValue columns, any custom indexes that have been applied on those columns must be removed before the upgrade and then reapplied after the change has been committed during the first-time startup of the upgraded application.

Enabling object access for OData​

If you are using the Odata interface, you need to review and update the settings for objects that are accessed through the API.

Self-management extension changes​

There has been an important change in the self-management extension regarding the rules for removal of members from the manager/owner property on a managed object.

Validating the Data Model​

You may need to update the existing Data Model objects that don't conform to the new schema validations the first time you try to save them after upgrading to Omada Identity v14.0.5 (Update 5).

The new validation checks the provisioning Data Model for duplicate property definitions in the properties element when it is being saved, and also checks whether object properties are defined in the properties section if they are used in the object element.

After the upgrade, it will not be possible to save those data model objects that don't confirm to the validation. Some of the out-of-the-box connectors contain an incorrect data model. These have not been updated as there is a risk of overwriting customer configurations.

Upgrading to 14.0.8​

If you are upgrading to version 14.0.8, the following prerequisites are mandatory:

  • Backup Application onboarding configuration XML (AppOnboardingConfiguration):

    • Make a backup of the XML data in the AppOnboardingConfiguration configuration object.
    • During the upgrade, the content of the configuration object will be overridden to replace the OWNERREF field with the new MANUALOWNER field.

  • Backup Self-management configuration XML

    • Make a backup of the XML data in the Self management configuration field of the OIS Resource Owner Role Resource type and the OIS Resource Folder Owner Role Resource type.
    • During the upgrade the content of the field will be overridden in order to include the MANUALOWNER property in the explicitOwner attribute.

  • Remove the RequireSSL registry key

    • Remove the RequireSSL value under the Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Omada\Omada Password Filter registry key if you have manually created beforehand.
    • This is required to correctly update Omada Password Filter component.

    • If you want to keep previous changes, backup your custom dashboards based on the My Dashboard (with Key Figures). Then, you need to modify the Dashboards’ definition XML View All target parameter for the widget named KpiTiles from:
      • viewAllLinkDashboardName: S_Dashboard_Title_KeyFigures to
      • viewAllLinkDashboardName: 'Key Figures'

  • New languages

    • We have added two new languages: Polish (pl-pl) and Latin American Spanish (es-mx). They will be now available as part of the Omada Identity standard language package available with an out-of-the-box installation.

      info

      An upgrade will overwrite the files for the Polish and Spanish languages. If you were already using one of these languages and want to keep your current version, then, please make a backup of the file and replace it before the upgrade is finished.

    • The mail configuration options have been migrated from the Omada.OE.Service.exe.config file to a new notificationSettingsconfiguration object. Make sure to follow these steps before upgrading:

      • To minimize the risk of sending errors after migration, we recommend that you make sure the mail queue is empty before you start migrating.

      • Launch Enterprise Server.

      • Import the Packsol changes. This will create the new configuration object notificationSettings which now hosts the mail configuration options.

      • Verify the new notificationSettings configuration object to make sure that it contains the proper configuration.

      • Test the settings by sending a test mail and/or monitor the mail queue and logs.

        note

        The migration from the old configuration file to new configuration object will run as an update action when the Omada.OE.Service (Timer Service) starts the first time.

  • New Resource types in Application Onboarding standard package

    • This version of Omada Identity contains two new resource types called Application Role and Business Role. These will be created when you install the updates to the Application onboarding standard feature package.
    • If you already have a Resource Type with the business key Application_Role or Business_ Role you may see errors when installing these changes. If so, you can de-select these changes before installing. Omada always recommends that you do a test import of changes before installing updates to the standard application packages.
